(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, November 02, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- When a pet gets cancer it's devastating which is why the month of November is designated as Pet Cancer Awareness Month.
Six million pets will be diagnosed with cancer this year. In fact, pet cancer is the #1 disease-related killer of pets. Pet Cancer Awareness month strives to bring awareness of vital clinical and university studies researching treatments and a cure. And to support organizations that help cover treatment costs for families who couldn't otherwise afford the care.
If cancer is detected early it can be treated more effectively that's why it's important to check pets regularly for the 10 Early Warning Signs as recommended by the Veterinary Cancer Society.The 10 early warning signs are: swollen lymph nodes, an enlarging or changing lump, abdominal distension, chronic weight loss, chronic vomiting or diarrhea, unexplained bleeding, cough, lameness, straining to urinate and an oral odor.
If a pet has any of these early warning signs, he or she should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for a thorough examination. In addition, pets should be keep away from environmental toxins like lawn fertilizers and surface and rug cleaners that have warning labels relative to children and pets as many veterinarians see a link between environmental toxins and cancer.
Cancer awareness is just one of the ways to keep beloved pets safe and healthy. Pets must also be protected from auto accidents when outside in the poor visibility of early morning and evening.
To celebrate Pet Cancer Awareness Month, a reflective pet harness made of nylon and covered with reflective strips is available from Grama's Kitchen at Amazon at a 23% discount for a limited time and while supplies last. The harness comes in 3, sizes small, medium and large.
